Vintage Barbie Reproductions are among some of the most popular and successful Collectable Barbie Dolls. Mattel issued the first Vintage Reproductions in 1994 to celebrate Barbie’s 35th birthday. Since then there has been at least one repro issued each year, with a record of six released in 2006. Each of these includes a remake of a vintage doll and ensemble. Many collectors not only collect the dolls as they are, but buy extras to use the dolls to model and display the vintage and mod ensembles they have collected.
